Thank you for responding, Ken.

So is it your understanding that, let's say in Division 9, someone holds a Hobie points regatta and they allow a couple open class boats to participate. The Chairman of Division 9 is there and knows it is going on and allows it. In the meantime, the NAHCA or the IHCA gets wind of it, (maybe from another sailor who is upset with the RC or just upset that there is an open boat participating), they can in turn deny any sailor who resides in the Div 9 area from attending a Nationals?

I wonder how many Div Chairs and officers are willing to participate in such activites. I wonder how many Chairs/officers even KNOW they are to become the watch dogs of the IHCA. I'm not doing it.
